Plasticity of Escape Responses: Prior Predator Experience Enhances Escape Performance in a Coral Reef Fish.
Teleost and amphibian prey undertake fast-start escape responses during a predatory attack in an attempt to avoid being captured. Although previously viewed as a reflex reaction controlled by the autonomic nervous system, the escape responses of individuals when repeatedly startled are highly variab...
